TortoiseGit does not support cloning local svn repositories

It seems that TortoiseGit doesn't support local svn repository created by TortoiseSVN at present.

When I created a local svn repository (such as D:\testSVN) with TortoiseSVN and cloned it as a git repository(using TortoiseGit with the "from svn repository" option checked), it failed.

And I noticed that, the command printed by TortoiseGit was: git.exe clone "D:\testSVN"

Undoubtedly, it was not right. When related to local svn, this command should be "git svn clone file:///d/testSVN/".

So in order to fix it, when "from svn repository" option is checked, the command should be "git svn clone" instead of "git clone", and the string "D:\testSVN" should be transformed into "file:///d/testSVN/", right?
